Schau an. Von offizieller Stelle würde so was derzeit wohl kaum veröffentlicht. Dabei haben diese jungen Journalisten nur öffentlich zugängliche Informationen ausgewertet. #Drohnen

Stop the press! Massiivinen uutinen – kenties koko vuoden merkittävin. Yhdysvaltojen uudessa kansallisen turvallisuuden strategiassa Eurooppa määritellään hyvin selvästi Yhdysvaltojen vastustajaksi ja Yhdysvallat kertoo ottavansa aktiivisen roolin vastarinnan organisoimisessa Euroopassa. 1/3

Let us not forget: every russian accusation is a confession.
Day after day, the moscow-centered terrorist organization hurls absurd claims at others to mask its own crimes, a propaganda tactic so crude it would make Goebbels proud.
Here are just a few examples 🧵👇

Miten paljon meidän on siedettävä päättäjien meihin kohdistamaa vihaa, pilkkaa ja halveksuntaa?

”Suomalaiset eivät ole kuuroja. Miten paljon meitä, älyämme, se millaista “keskustelua” meitä pakotetaan seuraamaan, on mahdollista poliitikkojen taholta halveksia?”

The framing of this otherwise good
@nytimes
article is frustrating. It's *always* been clear, since before his re-election, that Trump wouldn't impose new sanctions or use any other coercive instrument against Russia. He hasn't "backed off"; he was never on board. 🧵 www.nytimes.com/2025/05/20/u...

Europe’s disarmed state is …

(also) an advantage

✅… IF we use it right - by stepping up, NOW, to arm ourselves, for the ST, MT & LT future in a smart way

❌not slowly spending a fortune trying to replace US capabilities & arming ourselves to fight the last war, not the next one.

It is essential that the London summit on Sunday delivers meaningful, tangible outcomes,
No more talk, Europe, #JustDoIt

- Plan (w money & weapons) to win in Ukraine

Here are the elements of US pressure against Kyiv we've seen:
- Time pressure
- No NATO prospect
- No troops
- Proposal to grab UA's minerals with nothing in exchange
- No clarity on weapons
- USAID support stopped

Misinformation isn't random - it's strategic. 🧵

In the first cross-national comparative study, we examine 32M tweets from politicians.

We find that misinformation is not a general condition: it is driven by populist radical right parties.

2/5. All this stuff about borders not mattering, people secretly wanting to be ruled by us, the unreality of their countries – not very American, not even MAGA, but very Kremlin.

If you are a teacher or journalist (thread)🧵

There was never a "civil war" or "ethnic conflict" in Ukraine.
There was never any kind of "Russian language ban."
The founders of the "separatist republics" were Russian nationalists/warlords/agents from Moscow, not coal miners from Donbas.

Human rights are universal - if we start stripping away basic human rights from any section of society then none of us has rights – just privileges that can be taken away by people in power whenever they want. Please remember this

612-kulkue on ääriliikkeiden perustama projekti ääriajattelun normalisoimiseksi.

Tämä on ollut avointa ja ilmeistä alusta saakka, ja sitä on julkisuuteen sanonut vuodesta toiseen minä ja moni muu aihepiirin tutkija ja tuntija. Mukaan lukien viranomainen, Suojelupoliisi.

Jossien aika on ohi.

Lesson 1: Do not obey in advance.

Germany, France, Belgium and the EU should release the $300 billion in frozen Russian assets and give it to Ukraine, now. Don't wait.
